If the house is in your father's name, you must sell it to pay the debt.

It not about moral, it's the law.

Please stop pointing finger at TS for bring up religion matter. It is important in the context of inheritance as the estate administration and distribution law is different between muslim vs non muslim.

The bank can go after and claim from his estate. If it's not enough, then have to write off.

You have a misunderstanding about unsecured debt. While it's a debt without collateral, the creditor can still go after the deceased's estate.

Even if someone lent RM1k personally to the deceased, he too can go after the estate if he has proof.

The executor/administrator should not transfer the estate to the next-of-kin before settling the debts.

Of course we all know that the bank cannot go after the kids and wife. I'm talking about the deceased's estate.
